Outlook 2003 WinXP Pro

Sort of a minor question but irritating none the less. Whenever I click to
start a new email the screen that comes up for the new message is maximized
and I can't seem to get the new message screen not to take up the whole
screen when first started. I tried sizing the window as I would like it and
then saving. Sometimes then when I click for a new message it will come up
right a couple of times but then go back to maximized.

Suggestions please.

Thanks in advance... Bob
